Worth threatening war over? >_>

Not worth a war....

...although definitely worth a dance off.  ;D

Worth threatening war over? >_>

When you consider the absurd things people prioritize, hold sacred, and value above all, threatening war over something like that is hardly surprising. It's the reason they pulled The Interview from theaters and South Park was unable to air some of their episodes uncensored.

I was being facetious. I imagine it was mostly the other 9 hours of programming that pissed the Kim regime off.

Also, they're well aware of how well they'll do if it comes to blows. South Korea has a military to rival France or the UK. American assistance is just adding insult to injury.

Well lets face it wars have been started over stupider things and it almost seemed fitting that Kim jong il would be willing to start a war over the musical version of  Nyah nyah nyah nyah.

Here is an amusing link for wars started for extremely stupid reasons

also...if I had to listen to pop music for an hour straight I might get a bit violent as well :P Good thing i don't run a country.

I think I'm missing some serious context for this. I did notice they were dressed in some familiar NK-ish military uniforms, was that what they were taunting? Or was it in the lyrics? Or was it a taunt just because they were broadcasting westernized music to the north.

I'm kind of curious about just how annoying this sort of tactic is. If it's just an ear worm, or if it's unbearably loud.
